 * Hi, does the pluging creates a page/option similar to Data Access Request where
   the user can request to delete their data?
    How can we delete them? Is anonymization
   the same?

 * Wordpress exports and deletes data only for registered users. I don’t have any
   in my website. This plugin do this for Woocommerce also (which is what I want),
   which WordPress does not.

 * [@papge](https://wordpress.org/support/users/papge/) Yes a page is created containing
   a shortcode allowing visitors to request their data. They receive an email with
   a link to view their data and they can then proceed to ask for deletion.
 * When you take care of a request like that (2 clicks) the data will be anonymised.
   So for example a WooCommerce order will still be there but it will not contain
   any personal data as it is replaced by things like ‘FIRST_NAME’ etc. etc.

 * Hello,
    in your backend I can see the list of request received, but how can I
   delete or anonymize data? thank you

 * You should see a “Manage” link at the “Request to process” column. If it does
   not, that means you haven’t received any deletion request yet, which is a good
   thing 🙂

 * Hi [@van-ons](https://wordpress.org/support/users/van-ons/)
 * I did a test and show me FIRST_NAME, etc.
    What you are saying that anonymization
   is the same with deletion? I’m asking if there is an option for the user to request
   deletion, not anynymization.

 * I think we should have a page/form to delete straight the user (not only one 
   to anonymize them). Am I right or not understanding it well?
